Albert Camus states, “In the midst of winter, I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer.” If you are viewing this page, you or someone you know probably has been in emotional pain lately. I encourage you to continue following your instincts and believe you or your loved one is worth helping now.
Psychotherapy will challenge you to find the core of your being, to learn to cherish it, and to be honest with the most important person in your life--you. Being in a "ditch" usually leads you to therapy, and although therapy is your towing service, it is even more so a journey of connection that leaves you with confidence and resources to drive smoothly. Throughout the striking seasons of our lives, we all experience heartache that seems unbearable, but heartache can be a time of great growth when we courageously face it. As the revered C.S. Lewis states, “Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
Even though we are in the midst of soul’s winter, not feeling God or love from those we cherish, it doesn’t mean we aren’t at the cusp of shooting up with immense growth from the plans He gives us to “prosper us” and give us renewed hope. He gives us the gift of the therapy relationship where we can confidently grow more than we dreamed until … our winter is transformed into the most splendid of summers. Therapy is not unlike Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 which indicates, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.” Not a Christian? There is no judgment in the therapy room. Come as you are, and I will be privileged to see the real you and aid you in achieving the healthy destination where you want to go. Investing in your self-growth pays the biggest dividends. Be strong. Ask for help.
